In this context the present study has great relevance and significance. The study compares the
Service and Working Conditions of teachers in Government and Private Unaided Schools of
Kerala State .
It is hoped that the outcome of the research will provide valid insights to the policy framers
and the echelons of private management institutions on the hardships and frustration of the
teachers in unaided private management schools. It might also inspire them to introspect as to
whether the prevailing academic milieu is conducive for the teachers to work to their full
potential.
Hypotheses:
1. There will not be significant difference between of private school teachers and government
school teachers on the variable working conditions despite the structure of school
ownership.
2. There will be not be significant difference between private school teachers and
government school teachers on the variable service conditions despite the structure of school
ownership.
3. There will not be significant difference between private school teachers and government
school teachers on the variable self perception of teachers despite the structure of school
ownership.
Objectives:
1) To analyse the evolution of service conditions of teachers in private unaided schools
with that of government schools.
2) To compare the service conditions of teachers in private unaided schools with that of
government schools .
3) To compare the working conditions of teachers in private unaided schools with that of
government schools .
4) To study the self perception of teachers in the private unaided schools and government
schools.
5) To find out the impact of competition between private and government schools on the
students
Limitation of the study:
As the study on the service and working conditions of the private unaided schools and
government schools in the entire state of Kerala is too vast, the framework of study is limited
to schools in the five south Kerala districts namely - Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam,
Pathanamthitta, Kottayam and Idukki. The Right to Education Act (RTE)has not been dealt
with in detail as it deals mainly with the rights of students and fixing the glitches of education
